* Shortbreads topped with caramel and Better Made pretzels sure to please all!

ANN ARBOR, MI – Shortbread is good by itself, but add sweet, gooey caramel and lightly salted Better Made Pretzels and you’ve made a good dessert taste great! That’s exactly what Julie Weatherbee of Ann Arbor did, and for that her recipe has been chosen as the January 2013 Better Made Snack Food Recipe Contest Winner! For winning, she will receive a sampler box containing 15 bags of different delicious Better Made products. Future recipes may be e-mailed to info@bettermadesnackfoods.com or mailed to Better Made Recipe Contest, 10148 Gratiot Avenue, Detroit, MI 48213.

“I was looking for a sweet recipe for a tailgating party with friends and found the recipe in an old magazine,” says Weatherbee. “I make my own caramel but prefer to use great tasting Better Made Pretzels. Family and friends really like them, they’ve become a favorite of ours.”
